The New Rolls-Royce Phantom has been presented with a ‘Five-star Car’
accolade at the Autocar Awards 2018, which celebrates the
best cars produced in the automotive industry over the past year.

Introduced over 80 years ago, the famous Autocar road
test remains one of most thorough and exacting assessments to which a
new car can be subjected. The New Phantom is one of just two cars to
be awarded five stars in 2018.

In naming the new Rolls-Royce Phantom a ‘Five-star Car’,
Autocar wrote, “The eighth car to carry the Phantom nameplate
displays staggering technical complexity yet functions with immaculate
refinement, polish, comfort and grace. It has a sense of occasion far
in advance of anything else on four wheels and is now better to drive
than ever before. As our road testers concluded, the world’s greatest
and finest luxury car is now also the very best.”

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars,
added, “Our engineers and designers made incalculable efforts to
redefine the notions of comfort and luxury when they developed the
Phantom. The most silent and refined car on the road, the Phantom
demonstrates a true devotion to luxury, manifested in beauty, power
and bespoke craftsmanship. We are honoured to receive
Autocar’s ‘Five-star Car’ award as a testament to the skill
and passion which embodies Rolls-Royce’s tireless pursuit of perfection.”

The Phantom’s collection of accolades includes the ‘Best Luxury
Car’ prize in the UK Car of the Year Awards, ‘Luxury Car of the Year’
by Top Gear Magazine and ‘Best Supernatural Driving
Experience’ by British GQ.
